The accident happened because a piece on the airplane wasn’t put back on the right way. The company that made the plane didn’t teach the workers well enough or check their work carefully. Also, the people in charge of making sure planes are safe didn’t do a good job checking on things.

- heywoods 1y agoWhat Boeing plant was the aircraft assembled at where this failure occurred?
- kayfox 1y agoAs with all but the first few 737s, it was assembled at Renton. The door plug was installed in Wichita by Spirit Aerosystems and there were issues with rivets in the surrounding structure that Spirit removed the plug to correct in Renton. As a result of this Boeing is now refusing to sign off on fuselages with defects found at Spirit to be transported to Renton. And also Boeing will be buying back Spirit, which had been spun out of Boeing by the McDonall-Douglass management that took over Boeing when McDonall-Douglass bought Boeing with Boeings own money.

- CGMthrowaway 1y agoAre we still talking about John Barnett? This guy’s been talked about for years. You’re asking — we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy? That is unbelievable
- MrZongle2 1y agoWell done. No notes.
- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoThen let's talk about why the weapons shipments were suspended.
- Forgeties79 1y agoFantastic lol

- vel0city 1y agoThere's supposedly video evidence of him parking his truck and nobody approaching it at all until people were there discovering the body. He had his personal firearm in his hand, ballistics suggest the bullet came from his gun, and it followed a path that made sense with him holding it and using it on himself. But hey I guess they did some kind of mind control on him.
- ryandrake 1y agoAt the risk of overgeneralizing, more and more in modern life it feels as though we are all surrounded by people who are supposed to do their jobs right who don't, and people who are supposed to inspect their work who aren't inspecting, and people who are supposed to check the inspection process who aren't checking, and a legislative body who's supposed to regulate all the checking and double checking who aren't doing anything at all! It's like vast swaths of people are just fooling around, collecting a paycheck, but aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing, and we're all just miraculously surviving our day-to-day because a bunch of denominators are very large numbers!
- pishpash 1y agoNo, because some people still care and clean up enough after the slackers. The slackers also realize this and slack just enough for nothing major to happen often.
- almosthere 1y agoThis is not true, when that many people stop doing their job it spreads like a virus and the ones that still stand for good either a) leave companies or b) become infected also. They don't go against the grain. The people that do would have to have a constitution like no one you've met. Those people quit the moment covid-19 hit and they have since died or are just permanently retired.
- metabagel 1y agoThe issue at Boeing wasn't due to slackers. It was a process issue due to cutting corners (management issue).
- HeyLaughingBoy 1y agoI have worked in the medical devices industry as a software engineer for about 20 years at this point. As you would expect, it's a very process-heavy field. I've generally worked with careful, competent people who want to do a good job and process goes a long way towards facilitating that. Every time I think about process though, I remember an editorial I read a long time ago about an engineer's experience in the aviation industry. He wasn't too thrilled about process. Instead, in his own words, "we were motivated by a very sincere desire to not kill anyone.
